	Speedwell (ship) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The two ships began the voyage on 5 August 1620, but the Speedwell was leaky and returned to Dartmouth to be refitted at great expense and time.
		The Speedwell was a 60 ton ship, the smaller of the two ships (along with Mayflower) intended to carry the Pilgrim Fathers to North America.
		Evidently she was a gallant ship, since at least two subsequent ships of the British Navy bore the same name, a ship of the line during the Napoleonic Wars and a modern nuclear submarine.

		The ship, which is named for 18th-century Russian navigator Adam Johann von Kruzenshtern, never raised its 36,584-square-feet of sails during its journey into the harbor, but the ship and its captain got a first-class reception when it docked.
		Spectators lined both the Fairhaven and New Bedford sides of the harbor yesterday, waiting on lawn chairs and blankets for what many said was a "once in a lifetime" chance to see one of the last ships of its kind.

		The Mayflower was hit with many strong storms and cross-winds, and the ship was so badly shaken that she became very leaky, with water dripping and falling down upon the passengers that were living between the decks.

		At Dartmouth College (Where, according to the New York Times in a 1996 article, beer pong was invented), we play tree or ship, involving 22 and 28 beers, respectively, per game.

		I have grown a love for the game of real beer pong and will support any players and/or fans of the game Anyone who knows the rules and plays as it was there favorite sport in the world is my best friend.
